A server does NOT need POP3 to receive mail, it uses POP3 services to allow remote hosts to retreive mail queued on the server (assuming it has been received). You need an MTA such as sendmail or qmail to receive mail.... (if you are planning on running the server as an MTA...)
What MTA (mail server) are you running? Sendmail?
BTW: You don't need sendmail configured to send mail.. only receive. If you can't receive mail, then there is a good chance sendmail is not configured properly.
